“Let’s be clear on what [LGBTQIA] means: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and allied. I find that far more encompassing,” Stella Maxwell explains.
’s day job normally consists of jetting around the world for work as a model and Victoria’s Secret angel, but COVID-19 has put that on pause. Weeks spent indoors have provided her with a moment of reflection. “There is nothing like a
to make one confront themselves,” she shared via email from Los Angeles. In between appearing on internationalcovers and serving as an ambassador for Pride Live’s Stonewall Day events, Maxwell, who identifies as sexually fluid, reaffirmed her commitment to LGBTQIA+ rights. Thanks to social media and the public’s unwavering interest in runway stars, she has been able to use her visibility to signal boost organizations like GLAAD and serve as a high-profile example of a queer model.
A model since her teens, Maxwell, now 30, grew up immersed in fashion, a privilege that helped shape her perceptions. Inspired by the standards of tolerance set by the designers, photographers, and her team at The Lions, she understands fashion’s cultural influence. The acceptance Maxwell found on set and with her modeling peers allowed her to feel valued right from the start. “I have [always] felt comfortable and welcome,” she says.

Three years ago, in London in 2017, Pride-goers were told to “expect the most visible policing effort in the event’s 45-year history.” That same year, a cop got down on his knees to propose to his boyfriend through the railings. Last year, the NYPD hosted a Pride celebration at their headquarters, and New Orleans PD debuted their rainbow badge, which officers wore throughout June.
